Kim's Kazookie's
I've loved entertaining over the years. From hosting Christmas Eve dinners, that consisted of a full blown Italian feasts, to dinners for teenagers before a big dance. Regardless on the dinner, my #1 requested dessert is the Kazookie. Lucky for me, this is the EASIEST dessert to make.
What is a Kazookie you ask? Essentially it's an under cooked pan cookie that you top with ice cream. Optional toppings can include, but not limited too... caramel or chocolate syrup, whipped cream, crushed up candy bars and sprinkles!
The best part of this dessert is you can pre make the dough ahead of time. You can use any type of cookie dough, but the fan favorite is always chocolate chip. My preference is peanut butter or oatmeal scotchie cookie dough.
I make my dough, scoop into balls and refrigerate until you're ready to use.
I'm including my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe since this seems to be the most requested. Your kazookie will only be as the ingredients used. Make sure you use real vanilla and real butter...it makes a difference!
Chocolate Chip Kazookie's
1 cup butter (ONLY use butter!), leave out for an hour to get it at room temperature. If I'm in a hurry, I will zap it in the microwave for 15 seconds.
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla (the real stuff!)
2 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. course salt
2 cups chocolate chips
Mix butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth. Add in dry ingredients and JUST mix until blended. Add chocolate chips. Roll into balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet and place in fridge. After one hour, remove balls and place in zip-lock bag until ready to use.
Heat up oven to 350. Place four cookie dough balls in greased 12 oz. ramekins. Push down lightly and bake for 13 minutes...cookie should look under cooked.
Let sit out for about 4 minutes and then top with ice cream and desired toppings.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
